基于U 型结构的动态可调太赫兹滤波器设计

    Design of Dynamically Adjustable Terahertz Filter Based on U-shaped Structure

    • 摘要: 太赫兹滤波器是通信等领域重要的功能器件,基于U 型结构的超材料器件因结构简单等优势已广泛用于太赫兹滤波器。传统U 型滤波器的几何参数确定后,其谐振频率、陡峭度等参数不可改变,只能用于特定频带,限制了其应用。对此,文中设计了基于U 型结构的可动悬臂阵列滤波器,在U 型结构中使用双层材料(下层为SiO2 ,上层为金属Al)的悬臂梁,利用温度变化两种材料热膨胀系数不同悬臂发生形变从而改变谐振频率等参数的原理,实现了对滤波器的动态可调控制。使用HFSS 进行建模仿真,实现了谐振频率0. 22 THz 的动态调制。另外,在该滤波器基础上文中设计了双层材料-介质-双层材料的双面结构,使下降沿和上升沿陡峭度提高到了921. 24% / THz 和547. 92% / THz,最小透射系数达到了0. 0023,滤波效果得以优化。

       

      Abstract: Terahertz filters are one of the important functional devices in the field of communication. U-shaped structures based on U-shaped devices have been widely used in terahertz filters due to their simple structure. Once the geometry of the traditional U-shaped filter is determined, the parameters such as the resonant frequency and steepness cannot be changed, the traditional U-shaped filter can only be used for a specific frequency band, which limits its application. In this case, this paper designs a movable cantilever array filter based on U-shaped structure. The filter uses a double-layer (the lower layer is SiO2 and the upper layer is metal Al) cantilever beam in the U-shaped structure. When temperature changes, the thermal expansion coefficients of the two materials are different and the cantilever is deformed to change the resonance, in this way it realizes dynamic adjustable control of the filter. The paper models and simulates the filter by HFSS software to achieve dynamic modulation with a resonant frequency of 0. 22 THz. In addition, based on this filter, a double-side structure of double layer material-medium-double layer material is designed to increase the steepness of the falling edge and rising edge to 921. 24% / THz and 547. 92% / THz respectively, the minimum transmission coefficient reaches 0. 0023, and the filtering effect is optimized.
